Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Introduction To properly understand this vision, it must be kept in mind that it represents a gradual unfolding which takes place over a period of time, possibly many years. Though I was not given the timing of these events someo f them have taken place since the first edition was published. Whether the complete unfolding takes five years or fifty I do not know, but I do know that even if it takes fifty we do not have any time to waste in preparing for these events.
